- Place both arms next to your body with the palms facing up
- With the scoring leg remaining straight and the back of the opposite knee maintaining contact with the board, raise your scoring leg as high as possible
Tips for teaching:
- The moving limb identifies the side being scored
- Make sure the non-moving limb maintains a neutral position
- Repeat the test on both sides
- The client can perform the movement up to three times on each side if necessary
- Only move stick if a definitive vertical reference is needed at the border of 1 or 2 at mid-joint line
- Ask them to bring their feet together as close as Then perform the test from that position. Soles of feet still need to be perpendicular to the ground
